Sony has doubled the price of Horizon Zero Dawn on PS4 in the aftermath of the announcement of the game’s PS5 remaster. It had previously cost $19.99 or less to purchase the Complete Edition of Guerrilla’s open world outing since 2018, but now, with a $9.99 PS5 remaster on the way, the platform holder has bumped the MSRP on the PS Store to $39.99. In the UK, the price has increased from £15.99 to £34.99.

While it’s not massively surprising, Aloy’s inaugural outing is tagged as a Greatest Hit, and thus is supposed to be part of Sony’s discounted line of software. Increasing the price like this, especially after almost six years, seems a little harsh. Of course, if you already own the game – even through Sony’s pandemic-inspired Play At Home programme – you won’t be affected.
